Given the diversity of available structures and their possible variations, atomistic simulations have proven to be an invaluable tool for understanding and predicting various properties in nanoporous materials. In this work, I will summarize several classical and quantum chemical modeling strategies for predicting reactivity, dynamics and adsorption characteristics of zeolites and MOFs. Further, I will show that these multi-scale approaches enable efficient screening of catalysts and adsorbents for industrially-relevant methane upgradation, CO2 adsorption and olefin/paraffin separation applications.
Ultimately, as the viability of a functional material depends on a number of factors such as ease of synthesis and functionalization, long-term stability, degree of disorder and reactivity; computational techniques that transcend different time and length-scales are necessary. This work highlights the growing importance of molecular simulations, which will ultimately lead to rational design and discovery of complex, multifunctional porous materials vital for a sustainable future.
